5 Questions
Which system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms of autoregulation, similar to hydraulic circuits?
Circulatory system
What does hemodynamics explain?
The physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels
What does blood flow ensure in the body?
Transportation of nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste products, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
Why are classic hydrodynamics and fluids mechanics not capable of explaining hemodynamics?
Blood vessels are not rigid tubes
Why is blood most efficiently studied using rheology rather than hydrodynamics?
Blood is a non-Newtonian fluid
